Field Trip!

Our class is getting excited for our field trip to Big Springs and Mesa Falls on Wedneday Septemeber 18, 2013.  Please make sure your child brings their permission slip back to school as soon as possible.  We will be going on a few short nature walks on a paved path.  Please make sure that your child wears comfortable shoes.  No flip flops.  Please have your child bring a sweater in case of inclement weather. Parents are welcome to come and meet us in Big Springs. I need to give a lunch count to the cooks for sack lunches from the school so please indicate on their permission slip if they will bring a lunch from home or if they will need a sack lunch from school. Please call with any concerns regarding the field trip.
